Of all the wondrous sights on Borneo, the aerial view of Mount Kinabalu is hard to beat. The highest mountain in Southeast Asia, the peak dominates the Malaysian state of Sabah – both visually and in the psyche of the local Kadazan people who inhabit the state, who believe the mountain is the final resting place for their ancestors’ spirits.

Unsurprisingly, given its bulk and symbolic significance, a helicopter ride over the mountain is certainly one for the bucket list. On this journey, a one-hour flight takes guests on an unforgettable ride around the mountain opening up impressive vistas such as views of ancient rainforests, serpentine rivers and lush tropical greenery.

The ancient art of massage has been practiced in Borneo for thousands of years. And following the helicopter ride, guests will ease down at a tranquil spa with an extensive menu of treatments and traditional massages.
